GENERAL DESCRIPTION
BN:DTC P0301 CYLINDER 1 MISFIRE DETECTED
1. OUTLINE OF DIAGNOSIS
Detect the presence of misfire occurrence. (Revolution fluctuation method)
Monitoring Misfire which influences exhaust deterioration (1.5 times of FTP) and catalyst damage is made
obligatory by the law. Misfire affecting these two has three patterns below. Intermittent misfire (Different cyl-
inders misfire intermittently.):
•Intermittent misfire (The same cylinder misfires in random, or different cylinders misfire in random.): FTP
1.5 times misfire
•Every time misfire (The same cylinder misfires every time.): FTP 1.5 times misfire, Catalyst damage misfire
The following detecting methods are adopted for these detection.
1) Intermittent misfire: FTP 1.5 times misfire
•120° Interval Difference Method
•360° Interval Difference Method (whole range)
•720° Interval Difference Method (3,000 rpm or less)
2) Misfire every time: FTP 1.5 times misfire, Catalyst damage misfire
•360° Interval Difference Method
2. ENABLE CONDITIONS

3. GENERAL DRIVING CYCLE
•If conditions are met, detect misfire from idling to high rotation.
•Perform the diagnosis continuously.
